Just chill. The only people who are fooled by fake "M", "AMG", and "RS" badges have no clue what those badges signify, and they mean nothing. Those of us who know what they are also know what telltale signs clearly indicate the genuine article apart from the badges. They used to do the same thing with "turbo" badges and stickers.

I don't really have any issues with posers unless they are show-boaters and straight up call it an M3, M6 etc... In my experience the poser cars are typically sort of "hacked" together all ghetto-like. So when somebody take a look at it and then the next day spots a real M car, they'll see that YOUR M car just looks absolutely amazing.
I actually put M replica fenders on my old 335i (and blacked out the M badge on it). I just liked the way they looked. Is this poser??? I didn't think it was. The first owner of the car had damage on the fender, so I needed to buy them anyway.

What does a dyno have anything to do with replica/m3 posers? I must have missed something.

Some people probably do it with sarcastic intent.

Lol these are hilarious. Some of them I can tell, the owner is aware and is just mucking around for reactions as opposed to get people to admire them. Can't aay anything about the 650i posing as an M6. It's still a new 650i convertible which runs past a M4 convertible.in price easy... some people just put the m badge, not M3, so not bad.
I actually messed around on my M235i as well and removed the 35i and placed the m flower to.the 2, I enjoy the reactions. People who know about BMW know it's not an m2, people.who don't know about cars, who cares if they think it's an m2 or 235i |

not M Badges, but an over-badging of M Performance decals which is just as bad
1. Powered by M Performance on passenger door 2. M chevron on front hood and rear trunk 3. Powered by M Performance badge on driver trunk 4. Powered by M Performance decal on front hood (not shown) It looks horrible considering half of the decals aren't even sold by BMW...

I hope this same person buys the new X7 and plasters the car with Xs all over it.

There's a hilarious article (or should i say, rant) about fake badges on Jalopnik.
